A bloody fight last night shocked the capital. Ma Ming's company of new Yulin troops was besieged by thousands of people on both sides of the Qinghe River, and they were all bannermen!
These bannermen took out their ancestral weapons, including bows, arrows, swords and spears, and launched wave after wave of attacks against the new Yulin army equipped with Western-style equipment. That night, the shouts of killing and gunshots shook the surrounding areas, and the northern suburbs of the capital exploded!
Xierqi, Xisanqi, Qinghe Town, Haidian... the people in these places were disturbed all night long, and many people even fled to Changping, Shunyi, and Xishan overnight. There were also many people who were beaten, smashed, looted, and burned along the way. trouble!
Fortunately, many parties remained calm. After the gunfire sounded, Ma Ming quickly withdrew his troops and retreated south before the mob formed a siege. Only when they reached the city wall area, they were no longer afraid of this chaos!
As for the new troops in the Shunyi camp, they also heard the faint sounds of chaos, but they could not go out to fight without fireworks signals under military orders!
Ma Ming restrained himself until the entire army retreated under the city wall of Andingmen without sending a single signal bomb!
The 20,000 new troops in the Shunyi Camp did not open fire, which was the key to the entire situation not expanding!
Prince Chun Yixuan was also trying his best to suppress the situation. After the hot war broke out, he gave up the rescue mission of the hostages. Instead, he sent all his troops to flank Ma Ming and the others, using the advantages of Jiumen Admiral Bing Ding's hometown to appease those people as much as possible. Violent people!
This allowed Ma Ming's team to experience minimal pressure on the south and east during the entire retreat. This was also the key guarantee that no one would be killed and they could escape back to the capital!
Zai Chun didn't rest that night. He received the news of the alarm at two o'clock in the morning. Unable to sit still any longer, he led the Imperial Guards directly to the Anding Gate Tower, where he waited for the latest news!
Ma Ming and the others only evacuated to a safe area at 4:30 in the morning. When the mob saw the towering walls of the capital, their sanity finally recovered. Out of the bone-deep fear of the imperial power of the capital, these mobs The people in the fields and countryside looked at the city wall and did not dare to move forward, and finally fled in all directions!
Outside the Anding Gate is the Temple of Earth building with red walls and glazed tiles, reminding the mob to calm down. What you are attacking is not some Nanbarbarians but the strict imperial power. Long live the Forbidden City!
There was already some light in the morning sun in the east, and the courage that the dark night had brought them was dispelled by this glimmer of light. More importantly, they found that the voices that had been agitating in the crowd all night suddenly disappeared!
Only then did they know what fear was, and they knew that they were in serious trouble. What are you waiting for? Just run away!
In Zai Chun's eyes, these thugs are like the tide on Naha's white sand beach. Sometimes he sees them rushing towards them with great force, but they quickly retreat quickly, leaving only white foam on the ground!
"Open the city gate! Let my troops enter the city to heal... Send a telegram to Shunyi and ask them to immediately suppress the rebellion and rescue!"
"Wait a minute... Let the Shunyi barracks set off half an hour later. It will be dawn at five o'clock. Try to avoid unnecessary battles, but those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Go back to the palace! Immediately send a message to the Minister of Military and Aircraft, the major palaces, and the six chief officers...as well as Prince Chun and Gordon of the Xishan Camp..."
"Let's all gather at the Yangxin Palace. I don't believe it and I can't find the kid inside!"
Orders were issued one after another with fast horses and telegrams. Zai Chun slowly returned to the palace under the protection of heavy soldiers. This day was another day of martial law in Sijiu City!
"What a sin! What happened to the Qing Dynasty this year? It's a bad year. There are wars every day, people die every day, and martial law is enforced every day!"
"Just...are we still going to let the common people live? Those who have closed their doors will lose all their pickles!"
Deep in the alleys on both sides of the road, words of grumbling and complaining floated in the wind, and they all reached Zai Chun's ears clearly. The little emperor's face turned livid with anger!
"Your Majesty! Do you want me to go down and catch these talkative untouchables?" Da Sixi said flatteringly.
"Stay there! If you keep talking too much, I'll pull out your tongue!" Zai Chun snorted coldly. Da Sixi was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and stopped talking. The atmosphere in the team was extremely depressing on the way back to the palace!
Zai Chun was full of anger even without breakfast. He sat under the plaque saying "I am in trouble for you" and drank bitter tea. The clock on the table was ticking, and the frightened ministers began to arrive in twos and threes!
Weng Tonghe, Li Hongzao, Bao Jun, Yinggui...Prince Qing, Prince Li and his son, Zaicheng...the royal nobles and civil servant leaders were the first to arrive.
Seeing Zai Cheng's livid face, no one dared to take a breath, so they just stood on both sides and watched with eyes, nose and heart!
After waiting for another full hour, the parties involved, Ma Ming and Na Sanbao, also arrived, followed closely by Prince Chun Yixuan who had dealt with the riot and Yi Pei who rushed back from Xishan. However, as Gordon, As a foreigner, Zai Chun didn't ask him to come. Maybe he felt embarrassed and tried not to throw him abroad!
"Well..." Zai Chun finally said, "Have all the hostages been rescued over in Qinghe?"
Yixuan quickly walked out of the train and lowered his head and said, "Yes! All the hostages have been rescued. The 20,000 Yulin New Army from the Shunyi Battalion personally suppressed the rebellion. The mob dispersed like birds and beasts, and Lijiaqiao almost became an empty town!"
"The hostages being held...all have minor injuries but their lives are not in danger!"
"Haha... interesting! It's really interesting..." Zai Chun said angrily, "These hostages were only slightly injured, and none of them died?"
"But last night, there were thousands of mobs chasing my new Royal Forest Army, shouting and killing them? It seems that they used the hostages as bait, and they were deliberately trying to catch the big fish of the New Royal Forest Army?"
"What's the matter? You still want to devour all these people in one bite? Haha..." Zai Chun smiled coldly, "With just a hundred people, can you oust me from this throne if you eat them?"
"If you dare, come to Shunyi Camp! Go directly to the camp! There are more than 20,000 people over there, go and eat it!"
This statement made Yixuan tremble, but at this moment, he had the highest status among the courtiers in the palace, and he was out of work, so he definitely couldn't do it without speaking.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, calm down... A normal conflict is just an accident, definitely not a rebellion!"
"Accident? Hahaha... What a surprise. I'm just confused. It was so chaotic last night, Uncle Wang, but you didn't get attacked at all, and the people still asked for help!"
"But my new army was besieged by thousands of thugs! What's going on? Why do you want me to believe that this is an accident?"
Yi Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Maybe... maybe the soldiers of the nine admirals... are all from the capital..."
"They... they all have local accents and sentiments... so... that's why they didn't fight..."
"The new Yulin Army... after all, most of them are Han Chinese from the south... their accents and customs are all very different... Maybe there was a misunderstanding..."
Zai Chun winked at Ma Ming, who immediately took out an explosive bag from behind and placed it on the gold brick in the middle of the hall!
"I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding... My Lords, this was seized from the hands of the mob. This is a three kilogram standard field army equipped... explosive pack."
"Ah!" The ministers exclaimed, and Weng Tonghe shouted loudly, "Ma Ming, are you crazy? You actually brought such a dangerous thing into the palace?"
"Protect the emperor quickly!"
Note: Yesterday’s data was very gratifying. The number of book friends who helped vote for BRIC finally exceeded 300!
It seems that we Yinlong book friends are still powerful, but we are too lazy to do it for fear of trouble. I sincerely plead with you all, we are all old friends who have been with me for so long. If you don’t praise me, this book will never be successful. It’s day!
Not to mention that a person's strength is small, because Mount Tai does not allow soil, it can become as big as it does; rivers and seas do not accept small streams, so it can become as deep as possible!
The success of a book depends on the interactive support of every book friend. Even if you only have one recommendation ticket, even if you can spend a few dollars a month, it is a great support for Yinlong!
I know that there are still many book friends who still haven’t taken action. Don’t wait and see indifferently. Hidden Dragon needs your help urgently!

If we meet again and like the world in this book and the values here, then you are no longer a small-minded person!
I am willing to carry thousands of years of history in my mind, and I am willing to incorporate the vast human civilization into my feelings!
How could such a person be indifferent and selfish? How can it be that you are fussing over everything just for a small profit?
I know, everyone is just a little lazy!
Don't be lazy, Hidden Dragon needs everyone's strength, please pray for Xinjing!
